Could be the solenoid in the starter motor is weak and intermittently does not engage. That happened to me.

Just a single click? Could be low battery or bad connections, but I'd lean towards failing starter motor. My car did that same thing and it was the starter--if I gave the starter a good whack (very hard to reach!) it would then start.

Had a similar issues wit my 914. Try jumping your starter (make sure you're in neutral), check your connections (grounds especially), and clean connections to/from the battery. That'll help you diagnose. For me, it was the starter, but could be as simple as a loose or corroded connection. It could also be your ignition switch, but that's if everything else checks out.
